the crater of Vesuvius.
A nlave, that his name might be
remembered, burned the Tt mple of

Disraeli wore waistcoats of scar-
let and gold, and curled his hair
in beautiful black ringlets in the
House of Commons, and Miss Soph-
ia Curtiss gave a dinner party for
her favorite horse, named “Sur-
prise."
The horse was brought to the
table; many well-known stage folk
attended and ate while the horse
ate*. That happened twenty years
ago, but now that Miss Curtiss
dies, aged sixty-five, every news-
paper will mention it.
Thank Heaven, the President

flying, in earnest.
In the Post Office, flying is
treated as a separate important

Not satisfied with excellent air

to increase mail plane speed thir-

Each spoke tenderly of his mem-

Club and the city of Ozona had
suffered and extending sympathy
to those he left behind him.
N. W. Graham, who was a guest
for the day, expressed the grati-

of the death of his son-in-law.
Dr. R. Rosenberg urged that

declared that Pate kicked him.
Maynard went out to investigate
and the fight started.
Maynard was brought to the

Crockett County raa rich men were

from the Fort Worth Stork Yard*
that a fever tick had been found
on a cow shipped into the yards
there from Crockett County.
The cow on which the tick was
found was om* from the C. C.
Montgomedy herd shipped from
Barnhart recently. Only one tick
was found by the inspectors in the
entire herd.
Ii B. Ingham, local tick inspec-

spe* tors from the Livestock San-
itary Board and with Federal in-
spectors immediately. A federal
inspector was scheduled to reach
Ozona Thursday to make u thor-
ough investigation into the situa-
tion.
It is understood that the cow
on which the tick was found had
been pastured for about two
months in a small pasture on the

pasture was slightly infected at
some time or other and that the
